> Roche Diagnostica Brazil advises that affected kits already distributed may continue to be used by customers until the manufacturer-corrected product is available provided that the affected IHC detection kits (iView, Ultraview, OptiView) are used together on the same blade of the controls as described in the operating instructions. These controls should be appropriate for each assay and capable of detecting false negative results due to potential failure of complete or partial dispensing of the reagent. > For trials that are directly related to clinical therapeutic decision making (eg ER / PR, HER2, ALK, etc.), this action is additionally important to select a positive control tissue on the same slide with sufficient sensitivity to detect small decreases in intensity that can cause positive borderline cases appearing as negative (eg HER2 2+ vs 1+). Although the use of controls on the same blade is considered an ideal laboratory practice strongly recommended by Ventana, customers can revert to standard execution controls when the unaffected product is provided. > In order to reduce the risk of this problem that can affect patient care, clients who do not use controls on the same slide as a standard practice should follow their local procedures and policies for retrospective retest, especially for IHC trials and in cases which do not contain an internal biological control.

Potential for positional errors after automatic table movement (atm) elekta has identified that it is possible to obtain a positional error with the precise treatment table ™ after automatic table movement. this may occur if there is an undetected failure of the position sensors. this problem was previously reported through 200-01-204-011 notification. the precise treatment table is equipped with sensors that achieve a high degree of reliability when reading the table position. if there is an undetected fault on one of these sensors, a positional error can be obtained with the precise treatment table ™ after automatic table movement when using the xvi and mosaiq ™. the system has a software check to detect large positional errors resulting from sensor malfunction. in these cases, it is possible to position the treatment table with errors greater than 5 mm without any inhibitions. this may occur if automatic table movement is used. if automatic table movement is performed by iguide, positional error is detected.

The user can continue to use the system. If the user notices a malfunction of the display before using it on a patient, the power must be restarted to solve the problem. If the user notices a malfunction of the display during use, the manual balloon must be selected using it to switch the ventilation. At any time the clinician may use a self-inflating balloon to ventilate the patient and / or to switch to another anesthesia device, so severity can be classified as SERIOUS. If this problem occurs on the display of the anesthesia device during use, the device will continue to ventilate, provide anesthetic agent, provide alarms and will display a "Shutdown Mode, contact your GE authorized service engineer, use the Bag, CSB and DMB Communication Failure mode, alerting the clinician about a problem with the device. The clinician may switch the patient to another anesthesia device and continue using the current device without the display until the pre-use check and parameter settings on the new anesthesia device are completed. Alternatively, the clinician may switch to using a self-inflating balloon for manual ventilation for as long as a new anesthetic device is ready. When using a self-inflating balloon, the clinician would need to use intravenous anesthetics to ensure adequate anesthesia. If the problem occurs before the case, the clinician can cycle to solve the problem. Therefore, it is rare that loss of the primary ventilator parameters that may result from screen shutdown would result in serious injury to the patient. The loss of user interface is immediately obvious. The fan continues to operate in previously set configurations.

Causa
This action consists of replacing the central support ring of the mitt. we have received complaints that the central handle support detaches easily from the dome during use. we determined that the root cause of this malfunction is the excessive tightening of the bolts during the assembly of the handle support, resulting in the loosening of the rivets and the detachment of the central support ring from the handle. during manipulation, the handle support can come off completely from the focus point if all three rivets loosen simultaneously. in this case, although the handle remains in the user's hand, small amounts of particles can be generated from the plastic support ring. from our clinical evaluation, it has been concluded that there is a remote chance that this problem can cause postoperative infection, foreign body granuloma or allergic reactions, if the particles fall into the patient's wound or in sterile equipment. the problem was solved in production by a change in the design of the rivets (modification of the shape and over mold with the handle support ring). for units manufactured prior to the application of the change in production, we see the problem as a potential long-term hazard and we want to prevent the occurrence of any event related to our customers. this action consists in replacing the existing central support rings with the new design.
